platform: xbox 360

release date: Sunday Sept. 14

This game actually got a head start on the week and dropped on a Sunday. But were including it for this week because it’s to big of a title to miss out on. Rock Band 2 builds upon the first version by adding in several new modes for online play and off, plus the ability to import all your songs from the original RockBand, no repurchasing or downloading again. This game comes with a more sturdier and quieter drum than before. But if you already have the right instruments there’s no need to buy them again as this game is fully backwards compatible with the original RockBand instruments. So bust out those instruments and gather your band together for another go at becoming the ultimate band!
